Is there something wrong with my kitten or is this normal?

No. This is not normal and I don't think he's ok. I'd say that this is an emergency situation, especially if its progressed so far as him being skinny and not drinking. If a young kitten has diarrhea, it is usually a bad sign because they cannot recover from it like an adult cat. Its very similar situation to a human baby having diarrhea.

You may still have time, so I'd suggest changing his diet. It could be that his stomach is not doing well with the mixed food. Continue giving him water like you have been, that's a good thing because diarrhea can dehydrate him, like it can for us.

But I'd highly recommend taking him to the vet if you have the ability to. If you don't, which is perfectly ok because I know how it feels to not have the resources to take pets to the vet, try the above method of changing his food (maybe to just dry food?) and giving him lots of water to keep him hydrated.

EDIT: I also highly disagree with Ken S. I'm not vet and I haven't done the research, but my experience shows there's nothing better about wet food over dry food. Cats are carnivores, like he said, and from what I've seen both wet food and dry food contain things that are by-products and artificially processed. And lets face it, not everyone can afford to buy their pets "top of the line" food, which is usually just a waste of money anyway.

I have seen cats live over 12 years eating dry food and they were perfectly healthy and happy until the day they had to be given away. I've only seen one cat actually die from sickness instead of outside factors like dogs, fires, fleas, cars, etc. And I've never seen an overweight cat. And mind you, I've seen well over 2 dozen cats in my lifetime because my family has a tendency to attract cats (long story...). Most of the time, I've seen wet food give cats diarrhea and such, not dry food.

Feeding a cat dry food is not the worst thing in the world. You could be feeding them table food, which is much, much worst for their health (pending how its cooked and processed, of course)...

No, it's not OK, and you need to take him to see a vet. He's a baby and could go downhill very fast. You don't say where you got him from but you don't know if he's been wormed, checked over or anything else. It's a good idea to take a new kitten to the vet anyway, just to be on the safe side. Good luck!

Probably fine if he is acting ok, If you feed canned you cat is getting all the water it needs. Now what you can do is stop feeding dry food for his health. Get some acidoupholous from a health food store and sprinkle on the food for the diarrhea

Nutrition since there are so many bad things out there is very important to your cat’s health

Contrary to what you may have heard; dry foods are not a great thing to feed a cat.

Please read the label on what you are feeding? What are the ingredients? Do you know what they mean? Is the first ingredient a muscle meat like chicken or meal or other things?

Dry foods are the number 1 cause of diabetes in cats as well as being a huge contributing factor to kidney disease, obesity, crystals, u.t.i’s and a host of other problems. Male cats are especially prone to blockages

from dry food. Food allergies are very common when feeding dry foods. Rashes, scabs behind the tail and on the chin are all symptoms The problems associated with Dry food is that they are loaded with grains and carbohydrates which many cats (carnivores) cannot process. ( Have a fat cat?)

Also, Most of the moisture a cat needs is suppose to be in the food but in Dry, 95% of it is zapped out of dry foods in the processing. Another thing, most use horrible ingredients and don't use a muscle meat as the primary ingredient and use vegetable based protein versus animal. Not good for an animal that has to eat meat to survive.

You want to pick a canned food w/o gravy (gravy=carbs) that uses a muscle meat as the first ingredient and doesn't have corn at least in the first 3 ingredients if at all.

THE BEST CAT FOODS CONTAIN NO GRAINS NO BYPRODUCTS

Cats are meat eaters not cereal or rice eaters

Fancy feast is a middle grade food with 9lives, friskies whiskas lower grade canned and wellness and merrick upper grade human quality foods. I would rather feed a middle grade canned food then the top of the line dry food.

Also, dry food is not proven to be better for teeth. Does a hard pretzel clean your teeth or do pieces of it get stuck? http://www.felinefuture.com/nutrition/bpo_ch4a.php

Vetinarian diets The reason your vet thinks so highly of the pet food they sell probably has more to do with money than nutrition. In vet school, the only classes offered on nutrition usually last a few weeks, and are taught by representatives from the pet food companies. Vet students may also receive free food for their own dogs and cats at home. They could get an Iams notebook, a Purina purse and some free pizza. http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/Spring04/Perhach/P...

Keep to one type of kitten food, he is still young so his stomach needs to adapt to food and not his mothers milk

Make sure there is always water available for him to drink ( even if you still use the dropper)

Also try filling the dropper from his water bowl in front of him so he might learn to drink himself

Doesn't sound ok. I think you need to bring him to a vet. Sounds like he's dehydrated. Don't give him milk it will make him worse. Stick with water, and just wet food until he sees a professional.

Keep feeding him water and wet food, but not too much, he may have a virus and would need to be checked asap. He is definitely sick though.

It may have worms. It's very likely that puppies and kitties will have worms when they are little. You need to take it to the vet and they will do a very simple test to check to see if it does. And it may perhaps be dehydrated.

It sounds like you need to take your kitty to the vet. He could have a parasite or worms. He should be putting on some weight.

no hes not i came across a kitten like that and it wasnt good dont wait for anymore answers on this get to a vet before its too late

He needs to see a vet. Most likely he has coccidia, in addition to some kind of worm. He is due for his wellness check anyway, please get him in soon.
